with_o a_o good_a conscience_n refuse_v they_o nor_o can_v i_o apprehend_v that_o my_o former_a oath_n to_o king_n james_n can_v give_v i_o any_o just_a scruple_n in_o this_o matter_n for_o my_o oath_n to_o he_o be_v not_o to_o his_o person_n separate_v from_o his_o office_n but_o vest_v with_o it_o for_o otherwise_o in_o case_n of_o a_o spontaneous_a resignation_n i_o can_v not_o have_v be_v

confess_v very_o much_o surprise_v at_o what_o some_o do_v mighty_o insist_v upon_o as_o a_o bar_n to_o take_v these_o oath_n the_o doctrine_n of_o passive_a obedience_n as_o profess_v and_o teach_v in_o our_o church_n particular_o i_o be_v sorry_a to_o find_v it_o urge_v in_o the_o last_o declaration_n of_o the_o late_a lord_n bishop_n of_o chichester_n as_o the_o ground_n of_o his_o refuse_v

of_o that_o worthy_a and_o pious_a prelate_n i_o can_v forbear_v wish_v that_o the_o editor_n have_v commit_v it_o to_o the_o flame_n rather_o than_o the_o press_n for_o suppose_v the_o doctrine_n of_o passive_a obedience_n to_o be_v the_o doctrine_n of_o our_o church_n as_o i_o very_o believe_v it_o be_v and_o a_o very_a good_a doctrine_n when_o true_o state_v i_o doubt_v not_o but_o for_o all_o the_o lawful_a command_n of_o my_o prince_n lawful_a i_o mean_v for_o he_o such_o as_o he_o be_v impower_v to_o command_v by_o that_o which_o be_v the_o measure_n of_o his_o authority_n i_o must_v either_o actual_o perform_v they_o or_o quick_o submit_v to_o the_o punishment_n of_o my_o non-performance_n but_o what_o be_v this_o to_o the_o point_n of_o the_o new_a oath_n or_o how_o can_v i_o owe_v or_o pay_v this_o obedience_n to_o king_n james_n who_o be_v out_o of_o place_n to_o command_v and_o out_o of_o power_n to_o punish_v passive_a obedience_n be_v not_o a_o suffering_n for_o my_o king_n but_o by_o my_o king_n or_o by_o his_o officer_n commissioned_n under_o he_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v absurd_a to_o talk_v of_o passive_a obedience_n to_o one_o that_o be_v out_o of_o possession_n for_o it_o can_v be_v pay_v to_o or_o exercise_v under_o any_o but_o he_o that_o be_v possess_v of_o the_o power_n all_o therefore_o as_o far_o as_o i_o can_v see_v that_o passive_a obedience_n have_v to_o do_v in_o this_o case_n be_v to_o oblige_v i_o if_o upon_o other_o good_a ground_n i_o have_v be_v persuade_v of_o the_o unlawfulness_n of_o the_o oath_n submissive_o to_o have_v bear_v the_o punishment_n of_o my_o refusal_n without_o disturb_v the_o government_n or_o censure_v those_o that_o comply_v with_o it_o your_o very_a affect_n etc._n etc._n finis_fw-la
